5. Didn't Expect to See That Coming

"Reed?"

It's the first sound my mind has registered since what appeared like forever.I'm not dead.

That's a good sign? Right?

Unless I am and this is the end of it all.

Dim lights shine on my closed lids, giving the black nothingness an orange tint.

My eyes clamp open with slight force, as I rub away the hard crust formed around them.

Where the fuck am I?

I feel my body shiver and realize I'm laying on the ground.

My fingers feel frozen and I touch the floor with the tips understanding how cold the ground is.

Automatically I sit up, my vision goes blurry and I feel my body begin to lose its strength, I shake it off and asses my surroundings.

hmmm, everything here is gray?

"Reed!" I hear my name being called again, and I remember that's what woke me up.I push myself upright, flinching at the pain my muscles exert. They ruffled me up pretty badly yesterday, huh.

I see a bit of dried blood on the floor, where I laid practically dead for well, I don't really know how long.

My eyes make out a figure as I quickly run toward the bars, quite dramatically to be honest.His face distorts painfully as I grab ahold of the metal bars. I shake them uselessly and instantly regret it.

"don't" Tyler yells from the other side of his bars.

Well, you're a little too late kid!!

I shriek as stinging erupts on the inside of my hand, quickly I examine the damage done.The protective layer of skin on top has peeled off. While the pinkish layer underneath is slightly burned too.

Shit, how could I forget, usually in prison cells the bars are made of silver to keep the prisoners away.

The question is what am I doing in a prison cell?

"What happened yesterday," I exclaim ignoring the pulsating coming from my hands.I look over at him through the two sets of bars keeping us apart, as he looks up.

"We've been taken by the northern pack."

"The northern pack?" i was confused i thought it was supposed to be the western pack.He nods his head. "I was getting a little scared that you were dead."

My shoulders slump in dissatisfaction, fuck, it really happened?

I'm still stunned that the northern pack got to us first, no one expected it.

Shaking away my thoughts I clutch my head as i begin to understand what this means.

We belong to them now.

Tears brim my eyes as everything dawns on me in a matter of a second, my eyes go wide as I remember one thing.

"Where is Adam?" I question my nerves erupting, hoping for him to say he's fine.

I pace around my cell afraid of the wrong words coming out of his mouth.

"I don't know I haven't seen him since I left his house yesterday."

I let out a deep breath praying and hoping that he's okay.I take a seat again, all the information being too much to process.

I pull my knees up while trying to distract myself from the current situation.

Tyler is a good guy. I've never really had something against him.

He's sitting there in a pair of shorts while the rest of him is naked.They probably got ahold of him while he was asleep.
